PONDER on THIS for Monday, August 9th, by Leo Buscaglia in LOVING EACH OTHER

“It does not surprise me that people feel irritated when they hear this much overused phrase, “Know yourself.” The term has been tossed about since the dawn of civilization and has been especially abused over the past two decades. People offer vague general advice but very little is suggested of a specific nature as to how to bring it off. We are seldom told if we can do this alone, if one needs a guide, a psychiatrist, a minister or a mystic. Oscar Wilde said that “only the shallow know themselves.” The implication of this statement is most profound. It suggests that there must never be an end to the process.”

Leo Buscaglia, in “Loving Each Other”
